Born into a wealthy family, the celebrated amateur photographer Carlos Relvas (1838-1894) was able to devote his time to his passion, using the most up to date equipment and technology then available. He also commissioned the unusual and elegant art nouveau studio and house, which is now home to this unique museum covering every aspect of photography. Writers, politicians, humble folk, monuments, churches, villages were his subjects and he has left us with valuable photographic evidence of many aspects of Portuguese life in the 19th century.
